“Locking” a Samsung Bootloader@GiantTree That's exactly what I was thinking. When did insecure by default come into vogue? I understand that locking a bootloader indefinitely is bad (trust me, it's awful), unlocking a bootloader indefinitely is also bad, albeit in a different way. It's strange that they don't have a built-in mechanism which at least factory resets the phone on a flash no matter what.
